Carl Zeiss 50mm f1,4 Planar ZE

The Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZE is a classic normal-length prime for Canon EF mount, well suited to a wide range of subjects. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture gives strong low-light performance and precise control over depth of field for selective focus work.

The Planar optical design delivers consistently sharp, evenly illuminated images across the focusing range, while Zeiss's T* anti-reflective coating on every element helps control flare and ghosting for better contrast and color accuracy. A nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh, and the all-metal barrel and manual focus mechanism (down to 1.5 feet minimum focus) offer solid, durable manual control.
